A native New Yorker, Sims who also plays piano and writes most of her songs. On her resurgence in the industry Sims said, “These are exciting times for me right now. I have a great team behind me. I’m working with some amazing writers, musicians and producers on the "Love Song" project and I’m loving it. I’m humbled by all the love and support that I’m receiving.”

Sims’ manager, music industry impresario Ken Spellman, CEO of Soundcheck Media Group commented, “I’m honored to be working with the legendary Joyce Sims. Her music has withstood the test of time and she continues to tour and produce soulful dance music that the world enjoys. Based on early feedback from her fans and DJ’s, her new project “Love Song” should do well internationally.”

Her biggest success was "Come into My Life," although it was her only top-10 record on the R&B chart. Both "All and All" and her remake of "Love Makes a Woman" with Jimmy Castor were chart entries.[1] Sims' debut album, Come into My Life, reached #22 in the US R&B album chart. All songs were written by Sims except for "Love Makes a Woman".

In 2014, Sims released "Love Song", (August Rose Records) which included "Tonight", "All I Want Is You", and "Could This Be Love", a duet with Reggae maestro Maxi Priest. In 2009, Come into My Life: the Very Best of Joyce Sims, a double-CD of her greatest hits and remixes was released, which included the original studio versions on the first disc and extended mixes on the second disc. That same year, she formed a record label, August Rose Records, and started work on a new album. In 2006 she released the single "What The World Needs Now is Love," from her album A New Beginning (Vessel Entertainment), after teaming up with record producersJunior Vasquez and Glen Frisica. In 1994, Sims released the single "Who's Crying Now" on Warlock Records, which absorbed her Sleeping Bag Records contract after purchasing the label in 1992. She continued to tour internationally and make club appearances.

"Come into my Life," was copied by the Indian film-music composition duo of Nadeem Shravan in the film Aashiqui with a track called "Dheere dheere meri Zindagi me aana," virtually stealing the lyrics as well.[citation needed]
